David Beckham and Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas went all in when they pushed to sign Lionel Messi, and it is already paying off.
Messi becoming a player for Inter Miami was just the tip of the iceberg for an entire project, one which also brought in his former Barcelona teammates Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, as well as experienced coach Tata Martino.
Messi embarked on a truly dominant journey in the Leagues Cup with a team that was facing a challenging season in the domestic MLS tournament.
He provided the team with the emotional boost that only he is capable of providing, as he netted 10 goals in seven matches, including some that will go down in history.
An embrace that said it all
That’s why, after the celebration of winning the Leagues Cup, which was decided on penalties against Nashville at Geodis Park, one of the first people Messi embraced with affection and the joy of a fulfilled mission was David Beckham, along with Victoria Beckham.
This embrace was fueled by the trust to start building a winning project centered around Messi’s presence, talent and authority on the field.
In Nashville, there couldn’t have been any happier people than Messi, his wife Antonela, the Beckhams and the Cuban-origin businessman Jorge Mas. Mission accomplished. The embrace said it all.
